I have been watching too much TV

I have been watching TV way too much.
Watching the earthquake coverage.
I have watched reporters become rescuers,
the rescued become rescuers.
seen the earth-movers and the mass graves
wondered why the medical people left,
why the Bolivians were able to distribute food
when no one else could
wondered about Winnie's future
seen newsmen cover their anger and frustration
seen people run through the streets with coffins
seen sorrow and hope under a bright sunny sky
heard the criticisms and the praise
wept for the family of Man
